MARTIN from Previous Page
dents he mentors as his "kids,"
Martin considers them to be as
much a part of his education as
anything that he has learned in the
classroom.
"When I came to
Morehouse, I had a dream to make
millions, and [because of the kids],
I will leave with the vision to make
a difference," he said.
Faced with the daunting
task of preparing to deliver his
valedictory speech, Martin said,
"Instead of relying on phrases of
intellectual rhetoric and intellec
tual masquerading, I will open
myself up to a message that God
has placed on my heart," he said.
"I plan to make myself smaller
and make God larger."
While reflecting on his own
Morehouse experience, Martin is
grateful for the opportunities that
were afforded him.
"I shudder at the thought
that my seventeen-year-old
naivete may have led me down a
different path, leaving my mind,
spirit, and soul malnourished at
another institution. God wanted
me to be a Morehouse Man," he
said.
Upon graduation, Martin
will remain in Atlanta to work for
McKenzie Consulting Group.
THarold Martin's Advicefor Underclassmeni
j From the day that I entered these hallowed walls, filled with j
I fear and uncertainty, I was striving ... striving to be affluent in the *
I principles of New Student Orientation, striving to live the pillars I
| of a Morehouse Man, and striving to pursue excellence in all ways |
| at all times in all situations without compromise. Now, on the brink |
I of leaving the home that I have known and loved for the last four i
years of my life, I am given the rare opportunity to reflect. It is in
I this spirit that I offer the following advice to future Morehouse Men. I
I 1. Keep God first in your life and seek to understand and j
| fulfill His will. |
| 2. Always define success for yourself because others will at- j
■ tempt to infuse their own constraints on your potential. ,
3. In your endeavors, strive for personal satisfaction because
I accolades and notoriety are fleeting and overrated.
| 4. Do it all!!! It is over in the blink of an eye and regret is a \
j painful emotion. ]
j 5. Remember that you are your brother's keeper. Morehouse j
I College was founded on principles of communal African Ameri- j
| can ascension and that legacy can't die with you!
i 6. A man's worth is measured by his integrity and holistic I
! goodness, not the breadth of his resume or the width of his wallet. |
|: 7. It is your experiences and successes that nourish and sus- i
j tain Morehouse College for future generations, so give generously! i
, Embrace this opportunity with the might of a warrior and ,
; the will of a wounded soldier because its beauty and importance
I cannot fully be understood until it is over.
| I love Morehouse College with all my heart, believe in its |
j mission with my all my mind, and am connected to its history and |
! tradition with all my spirit. To Morehouse College, I am eternally i
. grateful and forever indebted.. .ask and you shall receive.
